A few months back a colourful book arrived in our apartment mailbox as part of a blog tour with Tundra books. We love getting new books so it was fun to be able to check out an advance copy of Hey Canada! written by Vancouver's own Vivien Bowers and illustrated by Milan Pavlovic.
Within the pages of this book a fun journey is documented as a grandma takes her two grandchildren, cousins Alice and Cal, on a holiday around Canada. The book is narrated from the voice of 9 year old Alice and is jam packed with fun province related facts and eye catching colourful illustrations.
Along with Pavlovic's fun illustrations, there is a mix of photography that helps make this book enjoyable to read. I see this book being perfect for a family who is traveling any part of Canada and wants to encourage their children to learn more about each province. Instead of being overly heavy on history and dry facts, this book gives just enough educational details so that it is fun and easy to read with children. It is a great addition to our family library.
As we are almost approaching Canada's 145th birthday, I'd like to wish a Happy Canada Day to you!
Hey Canada! is available where books are sold

Well, Hello There!
Mama in the City since 2008 and blogging since 2009!
My first apartment baby is now a full on boy and we struggle with finding space in our condo for his growing toy collection. I'm also a new mum to our second apartment baby, born January 13, 2012!
I have a husband who is an excellent cook and takes amazing photos. I work as a labor and delivery nurse and really love the work that I do and gave birth to baby #2 at my work place.
I use this space to write about my family and to share my passion about breastfeeding, birth and parenting. I have a fantastic purse collection and have loved watching it grow, mostly lovely gifts over the years from my husband. I currently have a closet full of purses that are too small or impractical to fit a diaper or sippy cup in, and so they are on hold for future years.
Have a question or a comment? Email me! I also love to read comments left on posts, so feel free to leave me a note!
